RAM 3500 Van V8-5.2L CNG VIN T (1996)
Weatherstrip Seal Adhesive
1. Apply weatherstrip seal adhesive to the door inner panel.
2. Position the weatherstrip seal on the door.
3. Start at the upper, inboard corner of the door. Move lateral and downward around the perimeter of the door while inserting the seal retainers in the
panel holes.
4. Move lateral and downward around the perimeter of the door and press the seal firmly and uniformly against the door inner panel.
NOTE: Seal positioning at the corners is critical. The seal must be firmly "seated" at each corner. Avoid "puckering" and stretching the seal at the
corners.
5. When correctly installed, the seal ends will terminate with the tab holes aligned with the retainer holes in the door inner panel.
6. Apply sealant to the upper, inboard corner of the seal and install both seal-end retainers.
7. Remove excess adhesive with and appropriate removal solution.
8. Inspect the fit of the door in the body door opening. If crushed, the seal will rapidly deteriorate. If not correct, adjust the door-to-body fit so that
the seal is not crushed when the door is closed.
